A computer-based
system for determining the degree of conformity with a graduate profile of an academic program based on academic performance data, wherein the
system comprises the following: a
communication interface unit configured to receive academic data from
remote computer terminals connected to an academic unit via a communication network; a storage unit that is operationally connected to the
communication interface unit and is configured to store graduate profile data, training area identifiers, subject identifiers, semester identifiers and subject grade values; a profile
processing unit connected to the storage unit and configured to generate an education area
data matrix by storing a variety of education areas for graduate profiles in the storage unit, each education area corresponding to a competency area associated with the completion of the academic program; a curriculum mapping
processing unit coupled to the storage unit, configured to generate a mapping table between subjects and training areas by mapping each subject of a curriculum to at least one training area for graduate profiles stored in the storage unit; a grade
processing unit connected to the
communication interface unit and the storage unit, configured to receive semester grade values corresponding to subjects in the curriculum and to generate a semester grade
record by storing the received grade values in the storage unit along with subject and semester identifiers; a contribution calculation unit connected to and configured with the storage unit, which generates a student contribution matrix representing the proportional contribution values of the students in relation to the respective training areas of the university profile; a semester assessment unit configured to determine a semester performance value for each area of study within the graduate profile, based on the subject contribution matrix and the semester grade
data set; and A
control unit connected to the semester assessment unit and configured to determine a cumulative conformance
score representing the overall degree of attainment of the graduate profile over several semesters, wherein the contribution calculation unit is configured to generate the subject contribution matrix using a matrix generation circuit that stores subject identifiers along a first dimension and identifiers of the graduate profile's areas of study along a second dimension of the matrix, each
matrix element representing a proportional contribution value corresponding to a subject's participation in a respective area of study, and wherein the
control unit is configured to classify the cumulative conformance
score into a variety of predefined conformance levels based on stored threshold ranges representing the graduate profile's performance categories.
